Zoe Saldana is 'about' three months pregnant

The 'Guardians of the Galaxy' actress - who has been the subject of rumors in recent weeks that she is expecting her first child - and husband Marco Perego are delighted about becoming parents, but don't intend to confirm the news just yet.

A source told Us Weekly magazine: ''Zoe is about three months pregnant. But she will only announce the news when she's ready.

''Zoe has always wanted a big family, and Marco's on board too!''

The 36-year-old beauty - who was in a relationship with entrepreneur Keith Britton for 11 years until November 2011 and later dated actor Bradley Cooper until January 2013 - previously admitted she was in a ''beautiful place'' in her life when she met Marco last year and was ready to marry him shortly afterwards as she finally felt comfortable with herself.

She recently said: ''I was finally able to spend time without being in a relationship and even though, it was a short period of time, it was beautiful.

''Where I lost that fear of being alone. It was bliss.

''I met my partner when I was in really a beautiful place in my life. When you are desired and you desire, so many things in your life start to make sense.''
